Position the left cam gear timing
mark (etched line) at the 3 o’clock
position (directly into the crankcase)
and secure the left cam gear housing.
See Figure 11.
NOTE: When tightening the cam
gear housing bolts, apply a drop of oil
to each bolt to prevent thread
damage. Also, tighten the bolts in a
criss-cross pattern to avoid warping.
FA-300TL/FA-300TTDP
e. Follow the same procedure as
described for the FA-100T/FA130 TD/ FA-
182TD. However, instead of rotating the
crankshaft 180 degrees, rotate the
crankshaft 360 degrees to place the left
piston at the top dead center.
3. Reassemble the piston, rod, rocker
arm, pins, pushrod, tappet, etc. in their
original positions. Engine parts are
mated after running the engine, and
they must be reassembled as close as
possible to their original position.
4. Assemble the engine reversing
the criss-cross pattern used in the
disassembly. Prior to tightening each
of the screws, apply a drop of oil to
prevent thread damage.
5. Adjust the valves to a clearance of
.03mm–.10 mm (.002"–.004") using
the supplied gauge. The valves must
be adjusted with the engine cold due
to thermal expansion.
NOTE: Valves must be in the closed
position.
